Where the PTA funds go                             

The funds from the Quiz Night and Christmas Bazaar in 2006 and Pamper Evening and Frog Racing and Curry Evening in 2007 were used to purchase the new wooden structure at the bottom of the playground.  The children are enjoying using this as seating, an impromptu stage and a quieter relaxation area.  It also acts as an outdoor extension of the nursery teaching space.

In January 2008 the PTA bought a £400 Yamaha P70 (see below) and a stand which can be used in various places throughout the school.  Most recently, the PTA bought 180 new sports bibs in house colours which were put to good use at the Sports Day in June! 

The PTA have agreed to earmark £3000 from the existing PTA funds for a new, high quality piano for the School.  Approximately another £1000 will be needed which we aim to raise this academic year.The piano would be used for assemblies, class music lessons, concerts (including Christmas and Easter) and drama and musical productions.  It would therefore benefit all children.

Over the last two years the PTA has provide a wealth of new facilities for Snaresbrook pupils.
These include:

    • Three large waterproof gazebos for use at school events and in the playground

    • Theatre performances by touring theatre companies

    • Playground toys, tricycles, pogo sticks, hoppers and scooters

    • IT equipment – Interactive white boards, projectors, digital cameras, electronic toys

    • Drama make up and props

    • A sun hat for every child in the school

    • Digital cameras

    • Roamer robots  
       

 

This academic year we would like to buy new brown, yellow and blue bibs for Sports Day and new brown, yellow and blue swimming caps for the Swimming Gala.  We also understand that the children would like a new high quality electric organ to add to the existing three in use and some new recorders.
